Seance on a Wet Afternoon

Looking forward to Lafayette's story in season six (less than a month away!). What will he say after that fairy drops 4 babies on the pool table, she best not have killed his giant Margarita buzz.
Dont forget to watch The Nerdist tonight with Joe Manganiello


NiceGirlsTV.com has a interview with Audrey Fisher for their TV Obsession series.
What’s the first show you remember watching? How old were you?
I remember being mesmerized by I Dream of Jeannie. I was obsessed with her pink chiffon stylized ’60s harem outfit and her miniature hookah apartment.
Also Bewitched, Sam was so effortlessly stylish and I loved it when she suddenly would appear in a black witchy gown. And, well, ENDORA. Nuff said. Read it all at the link.

Some True Blood bits from an interview with Adina Porter, Lettie Mae.
And what about the upcoming season of “True Blood”?
I don’t know! They just called me in for the next episode.
So, something will happen with Lettie Mae towards the end of the season? Do you know what it is?
No! I don’t know. That’s how I am with “True Blood.” In the first season, I would ask other people, “Am I in this script?” This one, I just wait for the phone call. So the phone calls come and now it’s all about making sure that I can try to do both shows.
What has it been like to be involved in a show like “True Blood” with such a devoted fan base? What kind of adventures have you had because of it?
I get these looks, where people are like, “Did we go to high school together?” Then they have the realization that I’m Tara’s mother, and it’s like, “Oh!” It’s fun. It helps sometimes at the airport. [laughs] Getting through security; maybe I don’t get profiled as much as I used to. [Some people say], “Wow, you look so much better in real life.” 
When you come back to work on “True Blood,” is it like going back home?
It’s lovely, yes! Home… “Newsroom” really feels like home. I kind of get a little nervous if I’m not there for a while. Like, “I’ve got to get back!” But [on "True Blood"], it’s like, “Hey! Adina’s back! Lettie Mae’s back!” So yes, it feels comfortable. Once I was there and I was being a little picky, and I said, “Where’s my seat-back? I’ve got a seat-back! I don’t wanna be just a guest star, come on!” [laughs] And they found it! MORE

  What could Bill be crying about? Maybe the Lil high wore off and he can't get a fix?
Newest Season Six Poster, I'll bite that it is some kind of infrared torture inflicted on the vamps by the LAVTF, Louisiana Vampire Task Force. 
Todd Lowe will be performing at Lance Out Loud Book Signing and Mumps Musical Tribute w/ Kristian Hoffman, he has worked with the infamous Mr. Hoffman before. Sounds like a great show for you lucky people in LA.

Well known New York stage performer and True Blood's Dr. Overlark, John Fleck will be at The New Museum.
A two-part, multi-artist performance residency and research project in conjunction with the exhibition “NYC 1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star” and IDEAS CITY 2013. Karen Finley, John Fleck, Holly Hughes, and Tim Miller—solo performers known collectively as the NEA 4—played a pivotal role in the dramatic shifts in public funding for the arts that occurred during the culture wars of the early ’90s.

This is love and passion between a man and woman who happen to be vampires.

and they are in a rock band.

"I love Charlaine Harris. I feel for her now. Every book I write gets attacked by some segment of my readership. And I know what it's like to have people love you and hate you. I'll be reading Charlaine's latest Sookie Stackhouse novel with enthusiasm. I have to confess what interests me is what Charlaine does with her own characters. But I do know this kind of polarization about a book indicates the characters are truly real for the readers. And that's a wonderful thing. Comments on the article most welcome. And on Sookie and on the brilliant woman who created Sookie."
We live in a world of me-me-me-what about me, so of course the over the top CH bashers ( the ones who make the twihards look sane and of course are way too old to be so upset over a fantasy novel) are only concerned with their own fantasies not being carried out. If my life ever gets so empty that I have to go to multiple boards, twitter, Facebook fan pages and forums to gripe not for a day but daily the last weeks, then please shake me, dunk me in the Hudson River till I get a grip of reality. There are so many tragedies and inequities in the world that deserve your righteous indignation and Dead Ever After is not one of them. If you are unhappy with the ending or the book in general, sell it on Amazon, give it away, there are people that would love a free book. 
Loving True Blood in Dallas came out of her self imposed retirement just to post this
We have known for years the series would end this year and we knew Charlaine had to move her creative juices on to the next project and that’s OK. Sure it’s sad to lose our annual visits with the Bon Temps gang but it’s just time … 
I think I have ALWAYS known how the series would end, I don’t know why and if you read the blog or listened to the radio show you know I said what a thought a few times and I won’t be a spoiler it here now, but this ending always seemed right for Sookie. 
I LOVED the book, I couldn’t wait --I downloaded the eBook at midnight and dove right in. I was so glad to be with Sookie again for her last book and although the book had it's rough points there were such great flashes of Charlaine’s amazing wit and wonderful details and descriptions. 
I was so glad to be once again inside Sookie’s head ( always loved the unique first person ) wonderful wisdom, loyalty and humor.
I was thinking as I was reading this last book that after 5 years of True Blood when I read a Sookie book I never NEVER picture the actors ( all excellent ) who play the characters on the HBO TV show 
I see Sookie as Lesi Desimini always drew her on the amazing book covers and when I hear Sookie talk in my head I hear her as the amazing voice actor, Johanna Parker always voiced her in the audio books. ( if you haven’t listened to audio book you have a pleasant 13 book adventure ahead of you ! )
I think this may be the key to this over the top “ shipper’ response to the books ending and directions of the storylines in the books. You have to keep the TV series and the books separate in your mind and you have to realize there are lots of folks that don’t think the way you do and respect them as equal fans ! Most of all you should be eternally grateful to the amazing and wonderful Charlaine Harris for bring us these great characters, stories and for sharing them with us for all these years.

Season Six Character Photos

                                                This is my blue steel look, too much?
HBO released several character photos from the upcoming season on their Facebook page. The last promo informed us on what most of  these photos show as far as what our characters are going to be up to. Credit: John P. Johnson/HBO 
                                   Fabulous Medium Ghost Detectives, first spin off.
                                                        Is Sookie moving from Gran's?
Don't even think about me washing that fairy afterbirth goo off the pool table .
Sookie, do you see that 'cause this concussion is making me all fakakta.
Pam:you never took me flying. Eric:not now Pam
Tara thinks about more colors of Manic Panic to try out and forming a punkrock band.
I don't know about Steve's future unless he become the Fellowship's first Vamp, not likely.
                                 The face of the unluckiest in love shifter ever.
Look at Bill and his nekid ass, that banana isnt in his pocket.
wait for it...growl, rips off shirt.
This is Juicy Couture, NOT Walmart.
Not to be confused with Leprechauns, Bagginses, or Wyatt Earp, tis a fairy prince.
Oh great another old friend of Terry's, just smile Arlene.
Hello, ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me.
So then Sookie says I'm never seeing Bill again, but you know how fickle she is.
I have to ask, why does Sookie's couch smell of ass, feet and Peach Schnapps?
Urno has a wee hangover, usually does better at captioning.
As far as basic features go she looks very similar to the Nora actress, in one photo taken while filming I thought she was Nora in a nightgown.
